Derrick Henry Bounces Back But Still Shows Red Flags

Ravens RB Derrick Henry bounced back with a 24-122-0 rushing line and even had a catch in the 17-3 loss to the Rams. The Ravens opted for two Tush Push plays at the one-yard line instead of just handing it off to Henry three times, leading to a missed TD opportunity from him on fourth down. Despite the solid rushing line, Henry only played 48.7% of snaps with the Ravens playing from behind all game.

OC Todd Monken seemed to realize that the ticket to success was through Henry, but the Ravens couldn’t close the deal.

RB Justice Hill had a similar snap share at 44.9%. Without Lamar Jackson, the Ravens’ offensive struggles cause them to play from behind and have to rely on the pass. QB Cooper Rush was benched for Tyler Huntly late in the game, but it didn’t make a difference.

In PPR leagues, Henry’s lack of pass catching has finally caught up with him when he isn’t finding the end zone.

Until Lamar Jackson is back, Henry sits as merely an RB2 with hopes for a score.
